Listen to the song through its visualizer below, and keep scrolling to see Bruno Major’s tour dates for 2023. “‘We Were Never Really Friends’ paints a picture of the blurry line between friends and lovers,” Bruno explains. “ Ostensibly lamenting the loss of a good friend, until the ultimate realization arrives that it was always something more.” He shared the following about the track below:
It deftly rides the line between minimalism and maximalism, with echoey harmonies and dueling, delicate guitar leads that interplay with Major’s frank lyricism. “We Were Never Really Friends” begins as a plaintive, soft-spoken piano ballad before bursting into 60s-imbued tones that recall the best of Lennon and McCartney, and has shades of modern-day contemporaries like The Lemon Twigs and Tobias Jesso Jr. For us this is just the beginning to greatness.After a three year wait from the release of To Let a Good Thing Die in 2020, British singer-songwriter Bruno Major has returned with the “We Were Never Really Friends” and a spate of international tour dates in 2023, and the promise of more to come this year. What I've learned from this journey is that with a vision, passion and commitment you can move mountains. This gratefulness, passion and love for our product is something that has carried us through this journey. We were so happy that real people were using our platform even though it was still buggy and in an early phase. I can still remember the day we celebrated getting our first 100 users in a month. We had a vision of revolutionizing the way we communicate with audio. Since 1984 the Provo resident has been the voice of BYUs telephone. What started as a side project in my room with Xander Kanon sitting on my floor working in the late hours besides our jobs. MAY, 60, has been heard by thousands of people who likely will never meet him.
We are immensely proud to announce that Voicy has raised a 1.3$ million pre-seed round with GFC and many other great angle investors from big-tech firms.ģ years ago Xander Kanon, Joey de Kruis and me couldn't have ever imagined that this day would come where we would raise a round and be featured in techcrunch! Voicy wants to pwn gamers with audio memes Some more of the other great Angels: Jeroen Bertrams, Wouter Kneepkens, Kayee Cheung, Sunita Kaur, Jim Ribbans, Jan Joost, Michael S., Daan Jansonius, Alexander Sainty, Niels van Deuren, Gianluca V., Gustave Sauveroche, David Vismans, Bryan Batista, Asad K., Gabriele Chiaranz, Ripsy Bandourian, Florian Horbach, Diego Camilleri, Andrea Carini Charles Prickaerts Matthijs van Voorst Michel van Aalten Tim Wanders Eric Warners Matthijs van Voorst Roxane Rafatian What's the Shutterstock like database for sounds you want to use on TikTok or Instagram Reels? Which platform is the Splice for short sounds? Where do Twitch streamers get their sound board for streaming?Īnd with that, we say: LinkedIn, we need that integration soon) Last but not least, Voicy's database of sounds provides the answer to some other questions: ❓ Random example: When Hinge started voice prompts, almost 50% of users played them on profiles. But no matter if C2C, B2B or B2C - companies look for ways to enrich their apps and sound is a central piece nowadays. This also includes the consumerized business world from Slack to Choco to any customer service app. Nowadays, messaging as a feature is becoming core to many other apps, from Gaming to Dating. Yet it doesn't stop at pure messaging apps 🛑 285 minutes a day in a Discord voice chat and WhatsApp users share over 7 billion voice messages per day on the app. Today via their website, soon via app and finally one day integrated directly into messaging services like Discord or WhatsApp, just like GIFs today.

This could be a simple meme sound or a famous movie quote. When an Emoji or a GIF doesn't really do service in expressing emotions because the sound is the core content, that's when you send a Voicy. They explained that the basic idea was simple: GIPHY for voice.
When I first met Voicy's co-founders Xander, Joey and Milan, I was truly blown away by the community and momentum the team had been able to build just by bootstrapping a website: In not even 1 year they had gotten to 1.1 MILLION monthly active users, partly thanks to having already landed a partnership with Rakuten Viber (where Voicy users have sent >20m audio messages). With that, I'm happy to announce Global Founders Capital's lead in Voicy's €1.2 million pre-seed alongside amazing Angels such as Jeronimo (CEO Deezer), Sven (Global Growth Spotify), Alessio & Tim (Co-Founders Jodel), Oskar (COO Acast), Mark (Founder Ace & Tate) and many other great individuals. Thanks TechCrunch for this great article on our new portfolio company Voicy 🙏
